  • Patent number: 3970217
    Abstract: A coin-operable automatic packaged diaper dispenser has a plurality of endless conveyors mounted rotatably within a housing. Each of the conveyors has a plurality of diaper storage shelves mounted thereon in pivotal manner. The conveyors are rotatable incrementally by an electric motor controlled by a coin-operable switch. A deflector stud is mounted within the housing at a location where it is engageable serially with each of the shelves as they approach a diaper discharge station to thereby effect pivotal movement of the shelf to discharge the packaged diaper to a delivery opening in a wall of the housing. When the shelf reaches the discharge station the stud disengages from the shelf and a return spring restores the shelf to its original position.
